Even after Allen R. Pederson’s death, he continues to give back. Villa St. Vincent/The SUMMIT has been privileged to be a recipient of Allen Pedersen’s Legacy Gift. For the time that Allen was a tenant in The SUMMIT, not only did he remain active in the Crookston community but the SUMMIT community as well. He advocated for quality of life improvements for SUMMIT tenants and Villa residents and he was a friend to many of the employees, always seeking to make their work experiences better. Allen was a man who had a great concern for his fellow people. He lived his life to the very fullest and has made lasting impressions on those he impacted with his Legacy Gift. In the photo above, Cindy Hulst, Villa St. Vincent Foundation Development Director along with Jo and Jon Bittner, significant friends and neighbors to Allen and his wife, Freda, are shown holding a plaque. On that plaque is a photo of Allen’s deceased nephew, Lyle Vernon Pedersen, to whom Allen memorialized with his Legacy Gift to the Villa/SUMMIT.
